Horror – I like Edgar Allan Poe and Frankenstein Horror can be good, it just has to have some redeem ability to it and can’t be too scary. Like Frankenstein has a great message and theme, but others a majority of the time are pretty gory or scary for the sake of being scary and in no way helpful. That’s my view at least.
Yeah, what I mainly mean is I like classic horror! Not modern gory slop…
Drama – Eh, stage drama is fine.
Definitely agree with this!
Historical Fiction – Its good, some are great others are ok.
Well it can be hit or miss but for me most of the time I think it’s a hit! I love history!
Folklore – Great genre.
Thats all? Its stupendous, Magnificent, pronounced, extraordinary, uhh uh… *Checks thesaurus* uhh… thumping!
Humor – It’s fine.
Yeah, I just don’t like it really as the main point of a story.
Tall Tale – They’re okay, some are fun, others aren’t as charming or fun to me as folk tales.
WhAt!?! I love this genre! (even though I learned about it a couple days ago 😅)
Realistic Fiction – good, a lot of wholesome stories from here like The Penderwicks.
I frankly find this genre often boring.
Thanks!

Yeah I get that.

That’s a good way of putting it.
*Checks thesaurus* uhh… thumping!
Thumping? That’s an adjective XD

Lol

What?? You have to find a good one that isn’t just drama, because when you do they’re usually really nice stories.

Horror – I think horror is pretty amazing when done well. I don’t usually watch horror movies, but a good Steven King book can be phenomenal. Like others have said I feel like (just like any genre) it comes down to how the stories are executed and if it has a good message.
Historical Fiction- I don’t usually read, which is weird because I am probably going to be a history major.
Folklore- It’s fun.
Humor- Often meh, occasionally 🌟. Napoleon Dynamite and Monty Python and the Holy Grail are some of the golden stuff.
Tall Tale- I don’t really know what you mean here… Isn’t this just folklore but with a little bit less fiction?
and
Realistic Fiction- I’ve come to appreciate it. I think there is a beauty in realism.
(Bones Genres)
Thriller – I often feel like I confuse this one with horror sometimes (could be because Steven King writes in both genres 🤔). Probably one of my favorite genres. I do just love when it all comes together in the end.
Fantasy (Not Romantasy) – Oh how I love thee. Fantasy is beautiful since it can easily allow exploration of topics we might not otherwise want to discuss using real-world terms (or be unable to). It also allows us to rewrite the rules of reality to fit the stories’ needs. Reading fantasy is a true joy, though I do feel I have a preference towards the darker ones.
Romance – I have a love-hate relationship with this one. Often it is horrendously done. For some reason, people think they ca just invade all the other genres with it in not-so-great ways. And yet we also have Toradora, probably one of my favorite Anime.

Yeah, like what I said, if its just gore then its a bore! (I rhymed for once)

That is a little weird… are you in collage?
Folklore- It’s fun.
Thats, all…?

Ive never read or watched Monty Python (wait is there a book AND a movie?) But from what I have heard it sounds well made.
Tall Tale- I don’t really know what you mean here… Isn’t this just folklore but with a little bit less fiction?
Wrong! It’s folklore with a lot more humor! 😉😁😂😂😂 (this emoji was the only one I could find that was the least creepy—> 😉… but it kinda looks romantic 🫣😬)

Meh.

Wait… WHAT! This wasn’t on my list!!!! HOW DID THIS GET HERE?! *franticly looks around in papers as sirens flair in the background with people in white lab coats running everywhere looking terrified*

I don’t remember if this was on my list, but it should’ve been if not! 10000000000% plus 5 agree!

AH I KNOW THIS WAS NOT THERE EITHER! oh well, I kinda agree. but at the same time its most of the time heartwarming, also You like anime?! I have watched only really two anime’s (If avatar the last Airbender counts 😅. I know it doesn’t) But right now i’m watching 86!

Not yet (wish). I’m just applying right now and History major is what I’ve been putting in the prospective major slot.
Thats, all…?
Yes. Unless it’s folk horror…

It’s just a movie.

🤣🤣 Hmm. Sorry to gaslight you. Should have added a bigger warning label.

I think Avatar the Last Airbender counts (I don’t really know, I haven’t seen it. I just get clowned on by my other friends who like anime for going through childhood and somehow not watching it).
I would say I like anime, although I have only recently gotten into it. I’ve only watched a couple and was trying to play through Persona 3 Reload. Right now I am kind of not playing Video games or TV until I finish my college applications.

Wow, and to think I’m still in high school, terrified of collage.
It’s just a movie.
Thats what I thought, but you can never be to sure.
🤣🤣 Hmm. Sorry to gaslight you. Should have added a bigger warning label.
Yes, indeed you should have put big flashing signs and this emoji > ⚠️ lol!

Thats cool! And I don’t know Avatar was made in the US but has a anime art style. And I find that very fair that you aren’t playing video games or watching tv, thats pretty respectable! And I myself do not watch a lot of anime, its just grown on me a little!
